Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically grown hand-picked grapes which are vinified with little or no intervention. Winemakers often rely on indigenous yeast to catalyse natural fermentation, avoiding the use of any chemicals, additives or sulphites.
The result is wine which is alive, energetic, vibrant and unexpected – a welcomed contrast to the industrial practices of the wine industry.

Tasting Notes
Straw yellow in color, very fragrant and with the unmistakable bitter aftertaste (a peculiar characteristic of the vine), it is a very powerful wine, both in the aroma and in the mouth and it is certainly also a "whole meal" wine, aged then, it has no limits in accompanying dishes, even the most demanding!
